Have you ever been in the situation where you really didn"t believe what someone was saying? Did
you have a sense that something wasn"t true or a feeling that all was not right? Perhaps they were saying
"Yes" yet their heads were shaking "No".
The difference between the words people speak and our understanding of ________ comes from
nonverbal communication, otherwise known as "body language". Body language includes body movements and gestures (legs, arms, hands, head and body), posture, muscle tension, eye contact, skin coloring,
even people"s breathing rate and sweat. Additionally, the tone of voice, the rate of speech and the pitch
of the voice all add to the words that are being used.
By developing your awareness of the signs and signals of body language, you can more easily
understand other people, and more effectively communicate with them. There are sometimes subtle(微妙的)-and sometimes not so subtle-movements, gestures, facial expressions and even shifts in our whole
bodies that indicate something is going on. We have ways of talking, walking, sitting and standing and
they all say something about us, and whatever is happening on the inside can be reflected on the outside.
By becoming more aware of this body language and understanding what it might mean, you can learn
to read people more easily. This puts you in a better position to communicate effectively with them.
What"s more, by increasing your understanding of others, you can also become more aware of the
messages that you convey to them.
There are times when we send mixed messages-we say one thing yet our body language reveals
something different. This nonverbal language will affect how we act and react to others, and how they
react to us. Therefore, in order to communicate more effectively, we should learn the signs and signals
of body language correctly.

skipping classes and ending with stealing something of fighting with another child,parents are always
blamed by the society for not having known how to educate their offspring(后代).The situation is not that
easy to explain.
Parents always look for the best interest of their children and many times they are ready to take
measures only for their sake.They know their children are suffering when they are obliged to stay indoors
or when they have no money,but they have to teach them a lesson so that they won"t repeat the same
mistakes over and over again.When a child realizes that his father is talking seriously about him not being
allowed to do something, he understands the gravity(严重性) of his deeds and he knows he will think
twice before making the same mistake again.
These are the cases of the responsible parents,who suffer when they see that their children are not
happy but who resist the temptation of forgiving them so easily so that they realize the gravity of their
actions not only at present but also for the future.
On the other hand there are parents who always find excuses for their children"s behavior,who never
consider they make mistakes or if they just do what they call"childish"things lacking importance.
When you buy your children everything he won"t take into consideration anything of what you are telling
him later on.He will get to the point when he steals from the house or from a shop so that he can afford to
buy cigarettes or drugs.
B.Children are easy to make mistakes.
C.It is not always right to blame parents when their children make mistakes.
D.Educating their children is the responsibility of the parents.
B.understand the child and forgive him or her
C.not make him or her stay indoors
D.not forgive him or her at all
B.parents" excuses for their children"s behavior make no difference to their children
C.children are hard to educate if they often make mistakes
D.parents who make excuses for their children"s bad deeds are not good parents
B.show parents how to deal with the children who make mistakes
C.make us know why children often make mistakes
D.give some advice on how to forgive the children who make mistakes
thinking of going on the stage is"Don"t!".But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he
must act,although the chances of his becoming famous are small.The normal way to begin is to go to a
drama school.Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted,and the course lasts two
years.Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a play company,usually as an assistant stage
manager.This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre:painting scenery, publicity,looking
after the furniture,taking care of the clothes,and even acting in very small parts.It is very hard work indeed;
the hours are long and the salary is tiny.But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy,waiting
for the chance of working with a better company,or perhaps in films or television.
Of course,some people have unusual chances which lead to fame and success without this long and
hard training.Connie Pratt,for example,was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory.A film
producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop,as he drove past in his car.He
stopped and got out to speak to the girl. He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test,and
she thought he was joking.Then she got angry and said she would call the police.It took the producer
twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious.Then an appointment was made for her to go to
the company the next day.The test was successful.And within a few weeks she was playing the leading
part in a film.But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!
B.too difficult for young people
C.for ambitious people only
D.for young people only
B.Managing the actors" dress.
C.Helping advertise plays.
D.Collecting tickets.
B.driving past him in her car
C.going to a film studio
D.waiting for a bus
B.It is a highly profitable chance.
C.Only those really loving acting canget it.
D.It is a very rare chance.
The German shepherd runs off and noses around in the grass of Kenya"s Laikipia Plateau. "OK,
Oakley," the dog"s handler orders, "Find it!"
Oakley sniffs (嗅) until he comes to a bush, then stops, sits, and looks up at his handler. She bends to see what he has found: the waste of an endangered African wild dog. "Good dog!" she praises. The
handler pulls a tennis ball from her pocket. Oakley jumps for his reward.
"He doesn"t actually want the waste," says Aimee Hurt, a founding member of the U. S. -based group Working Dogs for Conservation. Hurt is in Kenya to train both Oakley and his handler. "He finds it so
he can play with his ball. We"re the ones who want the waste. "
Detection dogs are sometimes taught to locate actual animals. Black-footed ferrets (雪貂) have been
studied with their help. But more often the dogs learn to locate the waste of creatures such as bears,
wolves and mountain lions.
What the dogs find provides scientists with data about a species. Scientists can use the DNA collected from animal waste to identify individuals, sex, and population sizes - all without ever seeing the animal
itself. "It can take years to gather this kind of information if you have to trap animals," Hurt explains.
Waste analysis might make a huge difference when wild species are accused of attacking domestic
livestock (家畜). Hurt says, "A good detection dog will find the waste so we can see what the animal is
actually eating. " This may help reduce problems between people and wildlife.

What"s your idea of a good time? What about dancing in a rainy field with one hundred and fifty
thousand other people while a famous rock band plays on a stage so far away that the performers look
like ants?
It may sound strange but that is what many hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK do every summer. Why? Because summer is the time for outdoor music festivals.
Held on a farm, the Glastonbury Festival is the most well-known and popular festival in the UK. It
began in 1970 and the first festival was attended by one thousand five hundred people each paying an
admission price of ￡1 - the ticket included free milk from the farm.
Since then the Glastonbury Festival has gone from strength to strength - in 2004 one hundred and fifty
thousand fans attended, paying ￡112 each for a ticket to the three-day event. Tickets for the event sold out within three hours. Performers included superstars, such as Paul McCartney and James Brown, as
well as new talent, like Franz Ferdinand and Joss Stone.
Although many summer festivals are run on a profit -making basis, Glastonbury is a charity event,
donating millions of pounds to local and international charities.
Glastonbury is not unique in using live music to raise money to fight global poverty (贫穷). In July of
this year, the Live 8 concerts were held simultaneously (同时) in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin.
Superstars such as Madonna, Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder performed in order to highlight (强调)
international poverty and debt.

Attempt a guess at the following question: In the English-speaking world, which country has the least
affordable homes? You are wrong if you
guessed the US, even with the housing bubble (气泡) and main sadness. Nor is it the UK, where prices have risen because demand is far from supply. According to a
recent survey of 227 cities around the globe, you must go south of the equator (赤道) to Australia to find
the priciest homes.
The report measured a city"s housing market along the f
ollowing guidelines. An "affordable" home required three times or less of the average family"s income to purchase. At four times earnings, a home fell into the "unaffordable" category. And a "seriously unaffordable" home needed five times a family"s income. In Australia, homes in the least affordable city cost just about 9. 5 times the average income. Sydney,
Perth, and Melbourne were only a little under this figure.
Australian officials offered little comment, apart from a general statement on the dismal findings. These prices make the possibility that many Australians will one day own a home largely unbelievable. Land
rationing (配给制) and excessive development charges have raised prices, and the problem will only be
solved through urgent action by the Rudd government.
Some American cities were also included on the least affordable list, four of which were in California. America is still involved in a mortgage(抵押)crisis, though, affecting the affordability of homes. Yet a
number of US cities garnered "affordable" status, namely Dallas and Kansas. Australia had no cities listed
in the top fifty places with affordable homes.
The survey suggests that you can find affordable homes in most places, just not if you"re Australian and choose to live down under.
1. To buy an affordable house, you should pay _____.
A. 3 times or less of the average family"s income
B. 4 times or less of the average family"s income
C. 5 times or less of the average family"s income
D. 9. 5 times or less of the average family"s income
2. What caused the prices of houses to increase in Australia?
A. The rising family"s income.
B. The demand over supply.
C. The excessive development charges.
D. The decrease of land.
3. The underlined word "dismal" in Paragraph 3 may mean _____.
A. cheerful
B. satisfactory
C. difficult
D. gloomy
4. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Affordable Houses
B. A House is a Dream First
C. Housing Bu
bbleD. Homes Too Expensive
